Abstract

The academic publisher Routledge publishes sets, usually of four volumes, with reprints of a wide range of older and recent articles and book chapters, always edited by a well known scholar and expert on a specific subject. In this 'Major Works Collection', a dozen of them so far have appeared in the field of religions ('Critical Concepts in Religious Studies'). Those sets are not meant for the wider public - as the price of the set is usually above $1000 - but mainly for libraries and specialists, who want material scattered around the globe and in dozens of publications.
